cookbook authors at Hollywood Farmer's Market - Sunday 12/7 9a-1p

Haven't seen this posted here, hope it's an ok topic for this board, apologies in advance to the Chowgods if not.

This coming Sunday December 7th The Cook's Library is sponsoring a holiday cookbook signing by local cookbook authors at the Hollywood Farmer's Market from 9:00am to 1:00pm. The location is the intersection of Selma and Ivar in Hollywood. I don't know about the parking because I haven't frequented that Farmer's Market before. Any advice on that would be appreciated.

The Cook's Library sent a postcard; lots of authors were listed and it said to call to get a complete listing of authors and times. 323-655-3141. I called today to find out what time Sherry Yard would be there and was told she had canceled due to a schedule conflict. Same for Nancy Silverton. Russ Parsons is scheduled from 9 to 11. I didn't check on any of the others. Carl Chu is listed, the hounds seem to mention him a lot.

This classic should be in every Southern woman's repertoire. A moist, delicious Chocolate-Mayonnaise Cake pleases crowds of all ages, and is the perfect dessert to bring to a neighbor, to a potluck, or to a summer party.

Beef ribs can stand up to strong flavors. Here, a spicy-sweet rub with chili powder, cumin, cayenne, garlic, and brown sugar coats the meat, which is roasted to tenderness. Finishing on the grill with a smoky chipotle barbecue sauce ensures the meat gets a nice char and the sauce lacquers. Read more.

A roasted boneless leg of lamb makes an impressive centerpiece for your table, but this recipe is easy enough to pull off any time. A classic gremolata perfumes the lamb; the mixture of garlic, lemon, and parsley holds its own against the strong flavor of the meat. Read more.

Summer is in full swing, which (hopefully) means trips to the park or the beach. If you’re taking a picnic along, you should know a few food safety rules so you can pack, transport, and eat your meal without the threat of food poisoning. Liz Weinandy
